In the following, every capital letter represents some hexadecimal digit from 0
to f
.
The red-green-blue color "#AABBCC"
can be written as "#ABC"
in shorthand. For example, "#15c"
is shorthand for the color "#1155cc"
.
Now, say the similarity between two colors "#ABCDEF"
and "#UVWXYZ"
is -(AB - UV)^2 - (CD - WX)^2 - (EF - YZ)^2
.
Given the color "#ABCDEF"
, return a 7 character color that is most similar to #ABCDEF
, and has a shorthand (that is, it can be represented as some "#XYZ"
Example 1:
Input: color = "#09f166"
Output: "#11ee66"
Explanation:
The similarity is -(0x09 - 0x11)^2 -(0xf1 - 0xee)^2 - (0x66 - 0x66)^2 = -64 -9 -0 = -73.
This is the highest among any shorthand color.
Note:
-
color
is a string of length7
. -
color
is a valid RGB color: fori > 0
,color[i]
is a hexadecimal digit from0
tof
- Any answer which has the same (highest) similarity as the best answer will be accepted.
- All inputs and outputs should use lowercase letters, and the output is 7 characters.
这道题定义了一种表示颜色的十六进制字符串,然后说是有一种两两字符相等的颜色可以缩写。然后又给了我们一个人一的字符串,让我们找出距离其最近的可以缩写的颜色串。题意不难理解,而且还是Easy标识符,所以我们要有信心可以将其拿下。那么通过分析题目中给的例子, 我们知道可以将给定的字符串拆成三个部分,每个部分分别来进行处理,比如对于字符串"#09f166"来说,我们就分别处理"09","f1","66"即可。我们的目标是要将每部分的两个字符变为相同,并且跟原来的距离最小,那么实际上我们并不需要遍历所有的组合,因为比较有参考价值的就是十位上的数字,因为如果十位上的数字不变,或者只是增减1,而让个位上的数字变动大一些,这样距离会最小,因为个位上的数字权重最小。就拿"09"来举例,这个数字可以变成"11"或者"00",十六进制数"11"对应的十进制数是17,跟"09"相差了8,而十六进制数"00"对应的十进制数是0,跟"09"相差了9,显然我们选择"11"会好一些。所以我们的临界点是"8",如果个位上的数字大于"8",那么十位上的数就加1。
下面来看如何确定十位上的数字,比如拿"e1"来举例,其十进制数为225,其可能的选择有"ff","ee",和"dd",其十进制数分别为255,238,和221,我们目测很容易看出来是跟"dd"离得最近,但是怎么确定十位上的数字呢。我们发现"11","22","33","44"... 这些数字之间相差了一个"11",十进制数为17,所以我们只要将原十六进制数除以一个"11",就知道其能到达的位置,比如"e1"除以"11",就只能到达"d",那么十进制上就是"d",至于个位数的处理情况跟上面一段讲解相同,我们对"11"取余,然后跟临界点"8"比较,如果个位上的数字大于"8",那么十位上的数就加1。这样就可以确定正确的数字了,那么组成正确的十六进制字符串即可,参见代码如下:
解法一:
class Solution {
public:
string similarRGB(string color) {
return "#" + helper(color.substr(, )) + helper(color.substr(, )) + helper(color.substr(, ));
}
string helper(string str) {
string dict = "0123456789abcdef";
int num = stoi(str, nullptr, );
int idx = num / + (num % > ? : );
return string(, dict[idx]);
}
};
我们也可以不用helper函数,直接在一个函数中搞定即可,参见代码如下:
解法二:
class Solution {
public:
string similarRGB(string color) {
for (int i = ; i < color.size(); i += ) {
int num = stoi(color.substr(i, ), nullptr, );
int idx = num / + (num % > ? : );
color[i] = color[i + ] = (idx > ) ? (idx - + 'a') : (idx + '');
}
return color;
}
};
